A3 Epoch Server, What can be changed?

Going to try to give a quick run down of everything that can be changed in 0.2.5

And anything in the @EpochHive/Addons/a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo may also be changed but keep in mind we will be pushing updates to this config from time to time. The mission pbo's may also be changed but will also be updated from time to time.

worldSize: controls how much of the map is used, this should not need changed unless running on another map than altis or stratis.
containerPos: The location of shipwrecks that spawn small green containers full of precious metals and gems.
telePos: not used atm.
oneWayTelePos: This is the enter and exit locations of the teleport pads on debug island.
propsPos: This is the trader city objects
staticNpcPos: locations of static traders found at trader cities.

Hey guys,

 

I want to add some weapons and vehicles (@mas-weapons and vehicles) to the Epoch Admintool!

 

How can I do this?

[Badgerator]

Anyone have any idea how to turn off the antagonists? particularly the drones (darters) ?

In you mission init.sqf insert the following:

 

// Control the epoch ai limit per player
// 1. Epoch_Cloak_F = Cultist
// 2. GreatWhite_F = Great White Shark
// 3. Epoch_Sapper_F = Regular Sapper
// 4. Epoch_SapperB_F = Super Sapper (dark)
// 5. I_UAV_01_F = UAV (that spawns the AI)
// 6. PHANTOM = Invisible phantom 
// 7. B_Heli_Transport_01_F = Transport helicopter for the mission system

EPOCH_spawnLimits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1];

Thx for this one!

 

Didnt know you could change the spawnlimits for each players for the Antagonists!

Hi vbawol,

 

has anything changed since 0.2.5? 

[Snaps]

Hello,

i have a big problem on chernarus map. When i buy a vehicle from trader, the vehicle spawn about 100-300m away from the trader. How and where can i fix it pls?

Thx for answers

Throw a chemlight or smoke grenade down first, the vehicle will spawn where the chemlight or smoke lands.

[Snaps]

Throw a chemlight or smoke grenade down first, the vehicle will spawn where the chemlight or flare lands.

Lol...So u mean, i need to tell all my players, they need to first throw down flare so that the vehicle spawn correctly?

[TuBz]

Yer.. I thought that was a tad ermm! well lets not upset anyone but WTF.. few new things seem to be taking epoch more and more away from realistic.. sadly.. even stopped hosting for now.. will wait till later developments bring it back to a more sensible state..currently to little to interest the builders,  Antagonists though very effective also just getting even more silly...on the plus side...Son and I rediscovered an old classic this week.. Quake 3, fire up a lan server and give it a blast with some mates.. I guarantee you'll be laughing your head of in no time!

You probably right, but i like more Doom 2 as Quake xD

When you buy a vehicle from a trader it will spawn in the closest open space, this can be 150 meters away, so Awol added a feature that allows you to specify the location using a smokegrenade or chemlight.

Throw the chemlight or smoke down and the vehicle will spawn there :)

 

You can tell you players or what i do is post the changelogs on my forum, it's up to them if they read it.

 

Changelog from 0.3.0

[Added] Trader purchased vehicle position can now be controlled with a smoke grenade or a chemlight within 50m of trader.

[1Man]

FYI chemlight works 100% smoke grenade never

[LucyDemoon]

hey on my server the jammers says jammer overloaded, where can I change it?

i have edit the epochconfig.hpp but unfortunately changes nothing

BuildingSlotsLimit = 100000; // Max building slots allowed. Warning! Higher the number lower performance.

sorry for my bad englisch

[SteYou2014]

 

In you mission init.sqf insert the following:

 

// Control the epoch ai limit per player
// 1. Epoch_Cloak_F = Cultist
// 2. GreatWhite_F = Great White Shark
// 3. Epoch_Sapper_F = Regular Sapper
// 4. Epoch_SapperB_F = Super Sapper (dark)
// 5. I_UAV_01_F = UAV (that spawns the AI)
// 6. PHANTOM = Invisible phantom 
// 7. B_Heli_Transport_01_F = Transport helicopter for the mission system

EPOCH_spawnLimits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1];

 

Do you know the default values for those spawnLimits?

[DigitalPurge]

Where would i find the limit for vehicles i wish to lower it! 

[viper179]

It will be in your @epochhive folder under the epochconfig.hpp from there you can see all cars and amounts, you can add more or just remove the lines or decrease the numbers

Ah, good to know, thank you sir.

 

How would you go about configuring things to have no server spawned vehicles to force players to buy from traders?  I would prefer to have players grind it out.  Many thanks.

[Galian]

Lol...So u mean, i need to tell all my players, they need to first throw down flare so that the vehicle spawn correctly?

 

If its a trader you set manualy, you can also put a heli_pad object by the trader and your vehicles will spawn there. Dont really remember the actual class, but you can find it in the map.h file inside epoch_settings PBO.

Well inside the epochconfig.hpp you would just remove them all making sure to keep the code intact aka no cars would spawn in period but you might run players off if you do that also just a heads up i learned the hard way. :D

So basically it should look like this; allowedVehiclesList[] = {}; though I think that may cause 0 vehicle slots available?  Should I just set one vehicle with a limit of 100 and hope not all spawn in?

[viper179]

Ok unless i didnt hear you right i thought you wanted to remove all cars and even if you set it to have one type of car with 100 it will spawn all 100 no mater what, if your just trying to not have so many on there just use the list that you have for now and set each one to spawn in only 1 per type. something like this below

 

{"C_Offroad_01_EPOCH",1},
{"C_Quadbike_01_EPOCH",1},
{"C_Rubberboat_EPOCH",1},

{"C_Rubberboat_02_EPOCH",1},

No worries Viper, you've been very helpful. Perhaps what I want to do cannot be done without using some sort of a script.

 

What I'm trying to accomplish is configure the server NOT to spawn vehicles to force players to only buy vehicles from traders.  The vehicles in each trader were set with a quantity of 10.  I removed the vehicle list from the allowedVehiclesList[] = {}; and then reset the DB. Restarted, checked map, no server spawned vehicles.  Spawned in a vehicle and immediately got a message that vehicle cannot be saved to the DB as no vehicle slots are available.

In epochconfig you set the static amount of spawned/allowed/alive vehicles upon restart, and it also works as a vehicle"cap", thus it dictates how many vehicles and of what type that are set upon the server.

As you said if you only want them to be sold at traders, and not spawned on map you will have to find some kind of bypass for this.

Would that not also set the server's max for that vehicle-type limit to 1 though? ie:

 

{"C_Quadbike_01_EPOCH",1},

 

Does that not mean he can only ever have 1 single Quadbike on his server?  If so, this vehicle max system really needs a re-work.  Maybe something like:

 

{"C_Quadbike_01_EPOCH",A,B}, where A is the amount spawned on restarts while B is the max limits.
